Fiber Optic Network Expansion

“The main focus will be on building a light cable network for those Telia customers who currently use fixed Internet connections on a low-speed copper network. This year’s major fiber optic network development projects will take place in Tallinn, Tartu, Parnu, Viljandi, Rakvere, Kuressaare, Kardla, and Harjumaa (Raasikul and Saku),” Telia Estonia said.

Overall, Telia plans to build a fiber optic cable network to more than 9,000 premises across Estonia to provide internet connections with speeds of up to 1 Gbps.

With this, Telia Estonia said, at the end of 2024, its high-speed fiber internet network should be available at more than 575,000 premises. The company said it will also inform all customers whose homes will receive a faster internet connection than before as part of network developments.
